Shower tray repair in Thorpe by Water, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste, across acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rutland.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can pets and children be at home?

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

What we’re called out for in Thorpe by Water
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
